Uutf — Non-blocking streaming Unicode codec for OCaml

Warning. You are encouraged not to use this library.

• As of OCaml 4.14, both UTF encoding and decoding are available in the standard library, see the String and Buffer modules.
• If you are looking for a stream abstraction compatible with effect based concurrency look into bytesrw package.

---

Uutf is a non-blocking streaming codec to decode and encode the UTF-8, UTF-16, UTF-16LE and UTF-16BE encoding schemes. It can efficiently work character by character without blocking on IO. Decoders perform character position tracking and support newline normalization.

Functions are also provided to fold over the characters of UTF encoded OCaml string values and to directly encode characters in OCaml Buffer.t values.

Uutf has no dependency and is distributed under the ISC license.

Documentation

The documentation can be consulted online or via odig doc uutf.

Questions are welcome but better asked on the OCaml forum than on the issue tracker.
